Piano Chicks to Link Up with Piano Boys for 2013 Adelaide Fringe, March 2-13

The frontwoman for Adelaide cover band Chunky Custard and former Formula One Grid Girl Becky Blake is back for the 2013 Fringe with two shows; her acclaimed Piano Chicks (a sellout in 2012) will return to The Promethean, 116 Grote Street Adelaide for three performances only on 2, 10 and 12 March. Her new show Piano Boys will premiere at The Highway, 290 Anzac Highway Plympton on 22 February and then transfer to The Promethean for three performances on 2, 10 and 13 March.

Piano Chicks is a 90 minute cabaret with Becky on piano and lead vocals. The show weaves the tales and tunes of a dozen piano chicks together along with anecdotes from Becky's own international career.

Piano Boys is supported by the same band as Piano Chicks plus special guest artist, Ian Blake (Becky's husband who is also a member of Chunky Custard). 'It's a riotous celebration of talent, flamboyance and fruitiness plus all the gossip, drama, costumes, tiaras and tantrums. And that's just the boys!' says Becky.
